Inspired by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Felton Earls and Mary Carlson embarked on a series of studies to help children find their voice in the adult world. In Romania, they saw the devastating consequences of infant institutionalization. In Brazil, they found street children who had banded together to advocate for themselves. In Chicago, Earls sought to understand the origins of antisocial behavior in teenagers, and in Tanzania, they piloted a program to guide children's growth as deliberative citizens. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere in vivid detail are the science, ethics, and everyday practices needed to foster young citizens eager to confront social challenges. At a moment when adults regularly decry the state of our democracy, \u003ci\u003eVoice, Choice, and Action\u003c\/i\u003e offers invaluable tools to build a new generation of active citizens.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 7.87 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 01, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51756041732384,"sku":"9780674292222","price":25.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/560939f4fbb1a0a2fdd41935945c50f7.webp?v=1780073230","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/voice-choice-and-action-the-potential-of-young-citizens-to-heal-democracy-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
